The Mountie, who was once featured in the popular “It Gets Better” anti-bullying campaign, claims she was repeatedly berated in front of colleagues for her poor paperwork, handwriting and exhibit handling.

But in a response, Sgt. Alexander says he provided support and encouragement to Fox, and never harassed her.

He is asking a judge to toss out the lawsuit.

The Attorney General of Canada and the Minister of Justice also deny responsibility.

The development comes as lawyers argue for a class-action lawsuit against the RCMP to be certified.

363 current and former female RCMP officers have come forward, alleging sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

Hey. I know a couple fellows who went through recruit process and got scrubbed due to poor paperwork. Paperwork is massively important in this job. If you can do it you shouldn’t be there as in latter years of career you won’t be doing as much leg work. Bad paperwork makes for bad guys getting off and offices with zero advancement potential. Especially for female officers. Politically incorrect but sorry.

Its really troubling that all the lying going on within the ranks of the RCMP! Who is lying the Males of the RCMP or the Females kind of sad, but I guess someone’s got to do it! I really think we need a made in BC police force from top to bottom@GO NDP GO

I hope everyone is happy now with the qualifications, politically correct of course of hirings.
Female first nations with french No. 1/ Male FN with french No.2. Then we come to female, then visible minorities and the list goes on. Takes a long time to get down to qualifications that would apply to POLICING.

I was treated poorly for my bad handwriting and was dragged in front of my ‘superiors’ to explain myself when I tried to improve, that is I had carefully switched to block printing on my reports and it looked too good. They thought I was getting someone else to do it for me – a major breach of security.

Nothing too small to interrogate you for…

This was just a small example of many that you have to endure in the RCMP, it doesn’t matter if you are man or woman, near retirement or young.

Make too many mistakes on your paperwork, if you are too slow in their eyes, if you don’t find an informer, smudge a accused person’s fingerprints, generate too few tickets, don’t keep up to the mass of files, don’t follow all the procedures perfectly (as your trainer is up in the Superintendent’s office sucking up to him instead of spending time helping you) , spend too much time interviewing someone (that is caring), if you care more for people than your files, if you don’t assist a ‘fellow’ officer as they abuse someone (and that ‘fellow’ officer complains about you not helping him), you don’t pick fights with the public to make yourself more aggressive as they told you to, following orders given by one supervisor and then being reprimanded by another supervisor for not following orders, if don’t put in adequate (in their eyes) unpaid overtime for half of your days off, don’t ‘party with your own’ fellow officers on your time off.

IF YOU’RE NOT LIKE THEM they will ‘help you’ and then put the screws to you to force you out. And they won’t be nice about it. They will be official, heartless and ruthless. In the end they will have enough on you to justify their actions and cover their asses. They will make you feel small.

Eventually they will write up every little mistake you make and craft horrendous, damning reports all about how terribly incompetent you are. They will make you read these reports and make you sign your acknowledgement. They will then leave you feeling like the lowest, most useless piece of crap on earth in a 10′ x 10′ interview room with your loaded gun. They will close the door and leave you alone but before doing so they will tell you to seriously think about things. I guess ceiling tiles can be replaced after they are splattered with brain matter.

My mother’s secretary saved me that day when she sensed something was wrong in my voice when I called to say ‘that I tried.’ A timely phone call back and a page over the intercom brought me back from the brink as was pulling the trigger. I wasn’t thinking about the reports about me at the time, I was thinking about what angle the bullet would enter my brain without being deflected by bone. You see I wasn’t as dumb as they made me out to be…

A Mountie supervisor may think that he (mostly men) is giving you help, but that ‘support and encouragement’ may be (most likely will be) tough and inept, and I might add, toxic and dangerous to your well being.

Their process is hardly calm and gentle, after all the Mounties do have a reputation with other Canadian organizations:
